A Message from Hospital
by Scott Olsen
I'm feeling a lot better, with a long road in front of me. After my
freedom of speech was quite literally taken from me, my speech is coming
back but I've got a lot of work to do with rehab.
Thank you for all
your support, it has meant the world to me. You'll be hearing more from
me in the near future and soon enough we'll see you in our streets!
[Last week, in the dead of night, Oakland's finest, in one of the most egregious displays of police violence against the peaceful protest so far seen in the States, attacked with tear gas projectiles, flash-bang grenades, and other so-called "non-lethal" ordnance. Veterans for Peace activist Scott Olsen was at the protest, standing with other uniformed vets between riot-troopers and the Occupy Oakland camp when shot, point blank, in the head. The incident has outraged citizens across the country, none more so than Olsen's fellows at Veterans for Peace. - Gorilla Radio, October 31, 2011. Speedy recovery, Scott. - ed.]
